Even though i crave immortality <br />I will need to brave the grave to get it <br />With my head in a peaceful bow to this life <br />I will row into tomorrow <br />Though without a fair judgement <br />For i got plucked from air down to the nadir <br />Being on X{1} at the moment of fall <br />I forgot my xenagogy{2} to Xanadu{3} <br />With impunity <br />I let down my hard-earned integrity and tussle with the trinity <br />Knowing I cannot change anything <br />I will not cry, no, i will not sob <br />I will follow this crookedly straight path <br />While I accommodate the little giggles, i will adulterate my moments of despair with great laughter <br />Till I find Xanadu, even in this Hades. <br /> <br />{1} slang for Ecstasy, a type of street drugs <br />{2} a guidebook <br />{3} the summer capital of Kubla Khan, an ancient Mongol emperor. <br />Rebellion one <br />17-01-14<br /><br />Temitope Adebowale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/xanadu-2/
